Ok I actually laughed out when the intro started. The voice,the gestures and the constant badgering to visit Cars and Bids...oh no you didn’t do that bit thankfully!!
I think the driver’s wiper has that fancy mechanism to let it reach more of the top corner of the windscreen. This is necessary because they’ve left the wipers’ orientation configured for a left hand drive vehicle (to save them having to reverse the whole mechanism). I think.
had one of these back in 2005. The 2 volume knobs in the rear will adjust each others headphones if plugged in, thats why there are 2 seperate volume knobs for each passenger.
Fun (eh?) fact: the "aero slats" on the wingmirrors are not so much to reduce drag for improved mpg, they're actually designed to reduce buffeting in the gap between the mirror housings and the body. Thus further enhancing the air (boooo) of luxury and comfort for the affluent occupant. Besides let's face it: if you've got a massive V12 in a car big enough to potentially cause serious grieve should you end up sideways in the Suez, who's really going to give a toss about MPG anyway...
Bro., your voice impressions of Doug Demuro was 100% spot-on. But what was equally amusing was your transition to your native British Accent as i thought you are American and certainly never heard of any Britt impersonate our Accent so accurately. You earned my subscription right away.
@@itsjoel You welcome brother. Hey could you please review the RANGE ROVER L322. The L322 is getting popular here in US for overlanding but some are hesitant and apprehensive due to the bad reliability reputation
Another great vid Joel. The thing I want to see you to do, which I never had the guts to more than once for fear of wrapping it, is to turn the (godawful) traction control off and get it sideways on a wet roundabout.
6:28 have you considered replacing the main screen with a combi idrive/android unit? those seem great coz you get to keep idrive but can also get android auto on the main screen etc.
What a beautiful car! And a very nice colour! E65 was always a beautiful car (I even prefer pre - facelift more). People in 2001 just couldn't get over the fact that it looked radically different from e38.
Subscribed because of the vids of the 7 Series. Love this car and really enjoy your style of reviewing. Abit disappointed you didn't fix the sensor especially as your bill was much less than originally believed. Would have to get rubber mats especially as you've got cream carpets.
No, wing mirror thing is to keep muck off the mirror by breaking the air flow up. Well, it works like that too. May be helpful in aerodynamics as small bits on wagons help fuel economy.
@Richard Harrold it’s an alright car just watch for the transmission since it’s one of the most common problems on the car. since you have 200k miles you might as well replace flex disc and center support bearing for the driveshaft. I’ve replaced mine and it’s shifting buttery smooth no more rough shifts :)
3.55 in my old 750iL, you could program the car with a 4 digit PIN code. This meant that even if someone stole the key to your German wheeled mansion (vierrädrige Villa), unless they knew the PIN, the engine won't start. That feature may be available on your 760.
Love thiz! Got an 08 730D myself. Awesome cars. Glad I got the 3.0 as there's just so many issues with the bigger engines especially the V8s, but nowhere near as cool lol
@@itsjoel Yeah. Pre facelift E65(E66)s are ugly at all. LCI cars are very nice, just these mirrors should've been changed and would be perfect design imo.
They are decent daily beaters. I have a few to to with my more expensive watches. Seiko nh35a movement is pretty good as well, assuming Joel's is an auto.
It's your battery is fucked, mine does it. If your headrests in the back go up an down mystery, also a sign. Parking sensors first mind. Check your alternator, if out is dodgy, don't fit a new one, if it has an output, fit a new diode pack for bout 56 quid an you can fit it without removing the alternator from your car!
'The windscreen wiper mechanism is over engineered. God knows how much it would cost to replace something like that if it went wrong' Bavarian engineers: 'Say no more'
Go on then... rate my Doug Demuro impression out of 10...
you forgot to mention Cars and Bids :(
Mate you will get a Doug score of 11 or a ECAM score of 100
I rate it shockingly bad out of 10. Nice try though.
I give it a Doug score of 100/100
@@BaldMancTwat can I get a gold star for effort?
I have to say Joel.... as soon as I heard the way you said “This”, I had to see what channel I was watching! Bravo my man!! Great video 😂
Haha thank you buddy
I thought I clicked on a Doug video too haha
Seems as though I’m not the only one who was fooled!
Me too 🤣😂
😂 Where are you cargo shorts and your shirt over shirt combo?
I’ll have a word with wardrobe for next time
I didn't know you are here, Love your videos
😁😅😂
Your Doug was on point, you only missed 1 thing:
You didn't mention Cars and Bids 4 times before the review start
Hahahahaha
Ok I actually laughed out when the intro started. The voice,the gestures and the constant badgering to visit Cars and Bids...oh no you didn’t do that bit thankfully!!
Ahah thanks mate glad it made you laugh
Yoooo, I don't think this is the real doug demuro guys, he didn't mention Cars & Bids at least 16 times in 5 minutes

Had to check it's the right channel
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't searched for a Doug Demuro E85 review. Your channel is actually quite in depth in that regard!
Thanks Chris, appreciate it
Community interaction on this channel is so good
Just doesn’t get any views 😂😂
@@itsjoel Content is great though so, I can really see this channel blowing up. Keep it up!!
D...DOUG?

I’ll do my best
My 2005 e64 645ci displays the satnav instructions in the head up display - now THAT is a cool feature for 16 years ago.
That is very cool!
6:28 have you considered replacing the main screen with a combi idrive/android unit? those seem great coz you get to keep idrive but can also get android auto on the main screen etc.
One of the best car series I've seen in a long time on TH-cam! That car looks a dream! Sounds EPIC! Good job Doug! 😂😝
What a beautiful car! And a very nice colour!
E65 was always a beautiful car (I even prefer pre - facelift more). People in 2001 just couldn't get over the fact that it looked radically different from e38.
I have e65 745d 4.4d for 5 years. Super car. I love this car. Greetings from Poland.
I'm sure Doug wouldn't mind, didn't know that 760 li had those features, thanks for the video
I hardly press like on videos, but that intro, you got it🤣👍
That introduction was spot on, made me laugh so hard 🤣👍
Brilliant, glad you enjoyed it haha
Fantastic beast!

I absolutely love the thought of owing one of these old gangster buses but going for a 530i e60 instead
Wise choice! Esso shares tripled since Joel got the V12 😂. You know you are a petrolhead when the 3.0 is deemed as the economic and frugal option 🤪
Same, I was tempted to get a an E63 650i but decided to make the smart move and get a 630i…I didn’t fancy the constant oil leak issues..
The wing mirror fins are to disperse water building on the mirror glass using wind as you drive, very clever.
The fins on the mirrors are to reduce wind noise.
Not that you’d hear it over the straight pipes 🤣
The individual volume controls on the armrest are really for using with headphones that you plug in next to each of the wheels I think.
You sounded like a Tyler Hoover and JayEmm rolled into one at the beginning 😂
Hey, my 2008 Fiat Croma has blinds too at the back seat, and also heated and cooled center console as well as glove box. And thats about it :D
Isn't that the very same windscreen wiper that broke on the drive down from Scotland on one tank of petrol?
No, wing mirror thing is to keep muck off the mirror by breaking the air flow up. Well, it works like that too. May be helpful in aerodynamics as small bits on wagons help fuel economy.
Joel, does a high mileage matter with these cars? I’m looking to grab one after watching your videos.
yeah quite a lot with older BMs, look for something with under 100k or be prepared to spend a few thousand every MOT, they are not very reliable
@Richard Harrold it’s an alright car just watch for the transmission since it’s one of the most common problems on the car.
since you have 200k miles you might as well replace flex disc and center support bearing for the driveshaft. I’ve replaced mine and it’s shifting buttery smooth no more rough shifts :)
The grooves on the mirrors stop air thumping when the window is down
Surely you could replace the wheel for one with paddle shifters on and use them?
After 4 seconds of watching you for the first time i subbed and liked
Loool fully saw u drive through Feltham the other day 😂
Hahahaha 😂
Why is that funny?
hi Joel has this 7er by the motor starter hilfe
the citroën c6 has more or less the same is a luxury car is a limo. would you buy it (2.7 hdi 2006)?
I’d definitely like to try one out
Nailed the warbling voice. Not bad on the American accent too.
We need to get Doug to watch this right now 😂
Haha I would to see what he thinks 😂
3.55 in my old 750iL, you could program the car with a 4 digit PIN code. This meant that even if someone stole the key to your German wheeled mansion (vierrädrige Villa), unless they knew the PIN, the engine won't start. That feature may be available on your 760.
That’s pretty cool! How would I access that?
@@itsjoel Dunno mate lol. Remember, if all else fails read the manual. It might not apply to your 760...
Great video - love the parody at the start
The mirror vanes are for aerodynamics but they are to help quieten wind noise rather than speed
Thanks mate that’s interesting to know
Please do a whole video as Doug. That was excellent
Oh god not sure I could keep it going for that long 😂
Joel, if you had to choose out the two cars, would you rather have your old M240i or the 740Li?
**760Li (my bad) 😂
Love thiz! Got an 08 730D myself. Awesome cars. Glad I got the 3.0 as there's just so many issues with the bigger engines especially the V8s, but nowhere near as cool lol
I would guess those winglets on the mirrors are to reduce cabin noise primarily.
I reckon the wing mirrors are to reduce wind noise rather than aerodynamics in terms of speed.
Yo the Doug Demuro is spot on love it and a great really enjoyable vid. Found out a lot about the big BMW. 👍👍
Cheers mate
i’ve heard that the ridges on the mirrors are to reduce wind noise
Thanks Dougy
Plate is cool.. did it come with it? (Watching the vids out of sequence)
Nice vid but you actually going to mod the car? Eg new alloys, tints, black accents etc
Impression was actually very good
Mirror slats: most likely to reduce wind noise inside the cabin.
That makes sense!
@@itsjoel keep up the good work. Highly entertaining stuff. Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪
11/10 Doug Demuro impression
you didn't mention the smart entrance , when you are near the car and you can open and close the door while the key inside your pocket
I believe the rear view mirrors are designed to direct the rain to keep them clear.
I have a 2002 corsa I don’t think I would be able to code much lol
You should’ve kept the Doug de muro style thumbnail with him behind the car with his arms out 😂😂😂
I saw the title and thumbnail and had to look twice... 🤣
Well played! 🤣
Thanks dude
Would that carly work on 2001 Bmw x5?
Hi joel
The 7 series videos are ok but more on the z 4
Also guest appearances on the videos are also great
Joel DeMuro!!
I think mirrors are from E46. :)
Definitely very similar, I’ve always thought they look way too small for the 7 series
@@itsjoel Yeah. Pre facelift E65(E66)s are ugly at all. LCI cars are very nice, just these mirrors should've been changed and would be perfect design imo.
Doug Yoda spot on :)
This is brilliant 🤣🤣
10/10 on the voice
Thanks mate
I can’t say ‘Carly’ without saying ‘icarly’ in my head.. I have a 24 y/o daughter who watched it constantly when younger..and therefore also me 😏😄
Why does he sound like the leprechaun in the intro.??
Me gold ✨️
You should have shown how the mirrors fold
That voice was on point!
*hmmmm? Dougs voice seems to be fairly high pitched in this episode*
Doug DeMuro..voice...Thissssssss...!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I knew instantly you were ripping Doug 😂
Best car ever but yes expensive not to buy but now to maintain. Far better than any RR Bentley or M-B. Top of the World.
Doug parody 10/10😂😆
An Invicta watch, an interesting choice, it wouldnt be my choice, but an interesting choice nonetheless.
It’s a great budget option
They are decent daily beaters. I have a few to to with my more expensive watches. Seiko nh35a movement is pretty good as well, assuming Joel's is an auto.
Long lost Jolene DeMuro!!!!!
when it goes for sale son?
Doug Demero! 😂😂😂
This is the smallest face lift on a car that I've seen in awhile, But i like what they changed for this generation.
@5:33 They're commonly known as "JESUS Handles".....
You're welcome.
Ahaha that’s brilliant, especially with my driving
It's your battery is fucked, mine does it. If your headrests in the back go up an down mystery, also a sign. Parking sensors first mind. Check your alternator, if out is dodgy, don't fit a new one, if it has an output, fit a new diode pack for bout 56 quid an you can fit it without removing the alternator from your car!
Give it a Doug Score
For a couple seconds at the start I was confusion
Why buy carly when you can use BimmerCode? Supports most adapters, 60£ gets you life time diagnostics and coding
'The windscreen wiper mechanism is over engineered. God knows how much it would cost to replace something like that if it went wrong'
Bavarian engineers: 'Say no more'
My Panda has a dipstick too, which means we basically have the same car.
if the light isn’t out but code still comes up, then the light might be aftermarket causing a code
This must be Joel Demuro!
i want a 7 series now...
That intro👌🏽🤌🏼🤣
Glad you enjoyed it haha
That was like mrs doubtfire not Doug demuro 😂
The grab handles are known as ‘oh shit’ handles…. Think about it…. 😆
Wonder who’s number that is
